dist church, baptized three persons on

grcgaiion as The result Of his late series OF

Senator Riddlcberger and Dr. Frank
King spoke m this place on Monday
night The audience was a very large
one, IIiseys large now hall being packed,
and many not able to get ~. Both speech
es were able efforts aud were listened to
with close attention
On last Saturday night number Of our
merry, fun-loylng maldcns, unable TO wait
for Halloween, went ont on lark, dressed
in all manner of masquerading costumes,
and provided with mouth harps and other
instruments of music. They visited a
number of houses, and had world of
innocent fun Long may their sweet,
merry voices be heard in the land.
A temperance meeting will be held in
the United Brethren church. of Edinburg,
on Saturday evening, Nov. 9Th, under the
auspices Of the w. G.. r. u. of this place.
The exercises will consist Of declarations
readings. music, &c, together with one or
more addresses. The ladies earnestly re-
quest the attendance of all persons, both
young and old.
Work on the long pavement from Nam
street to the depot has commenced IN
earnest. The curbing has been put m
and laying the bricks is going on steadily.
II ia one of the most needed improve
ments onr town authorities could possibly
have determined upon. The other paving
improvements will be pushed ahead and
completed before winter
Miss Maggie IIisey's splendid stock OF
fashionable millinery is attracting much
attention from the fair sex. Her goods
are all fresh and new and of the latest
styles, all of them being very attractive.
Her prices are so low as to be within the
roach Of every one, and the very poorest
can afford to indulge in handsome and
fashionable millinery.
Some Of our young men, feeling the hot
blood of eager youth bounding through
their veins, concluded to pant the town
red on Monday night, in accordance with
the time-honorcd custom Of All llallow-
GEN. Though but few in number, they
made up for all that in the vigor and
promptness of their actions. Fences, steps
wagons, wood piles, &c., were brought m
TO lequisition, and great was the lamenta-
ton. and keen the search for missing prop
erty on tho following morning. The store
Of William Iopewcll & Fro. seemed to he
the objective point Of most Of the night'
operations, and the large piazza in front
Of their store building was literally pack
ed and loaded down with the spells of war
Rchey Stoneburner, n popular younl
man Of this place, had narrow escape
from serious injury, if not death. on Tues
day. lie was in the third story Of The
large Edinburg flouring mill, and under
took TO swing ont on ;he rope Of hoist
ing apparatus that ran mp tho outside
front Of the building. By some means The
rope slipped, and he fell heavily TO The
ground below, n distance Of not less thar
forty feet. Strange to say he was only
stunned and bruised, being able to wall
about the next day, the only observable
difference beng an additional stiffness
and hautness Of bearing IN his walk ant
carriage as if his joints were not as supl'
rs usual. We will bet Stony creek ce
against an Edinburg julip that Rich won
try any gymnastics Of this kind again.
